Question Vivo x fold 2, should I buy it?

[avivasaf]

Hello
I pre order the Google pixel fold, but it was delayed delivery for 1 month, so i decided to cancel it. I don't trust Google anymore.
How is the Vivo X Fold 2? How is the Camera performance? Battery life? The software?

Battery life is phenomenal and it charges to full in 26 minutes. Pixel fold has incredibly slow charging times and using a lesser processor chip (tensor). Cameras are nice but maybe the 1 area where pixel trumps Vivo however all the other hardware on Vivo will destroy Google I'm sure. I'm extremely happy with mine. Brightness is higher nits than on any other fold too. Plus you'll be saving hundreds getting the Vivo. It's a no brainier. Software takes a little getting used to a notifications are a little annoying. I still can't get message preview for WhatsApp messages but other than that it's solid.

Did you tried on the app in the apps setting go to notifications and sign the banner and lock screen for get notifications. You can try also reset the notification in whatssapp app and then go to settings and choose the banner&lockscreen in the app also choose ring for the app. Its worked for me on Oppo find n2
Please let me know if this work for you

I've tried it all man. I've gone into WhatsApp app settings and reset the notifications to see if that does anything but I doubt it. I have WhatsApp on auto start with banner, lock screen, badge the lot. I can see the notification on the lock screen but not when phone is unlocked and being used. I'm really at a loss.

I have just noticed this though. Would this be it? Edit: nevermind this is apparently for Android 9 and older.

When its unlocked can you see it in the notifications drawer when you slide it down? Can you answer from there?

Yeah I can see the message by pulling down and technically I can reply from there, when I write the message and press send the send button turns into a circle going round and round as if it's trying to send. It has sent but it will sit there indefinitely spinning round. On my last phone when you press send the message disappears and you know it's been sent.

I just tried dynamic island and it still didn't work. I couldn't even get the 'test' in the app to work, you know when you press the play button at the top right to see an example of what it will look like. It's impossible!

Let it all permissions, auto start, read over other apps etc, something wrong with your phone

Remove this one also by adb com.vivo.pem

Remove this one also by adb com.vivo.pem

I've read not to remove that. I wouldn't even know where to remove it anyway.

Why not? I did it in Vivo x fold 1,its not harm anything, try to by adb command

I have both vivo x fold version
I think in terms of camera it is a downgrade due to lacking periscope lens. I think the recent software upgrades makes the vivo x fold 2 questionable. But the vivo x fold 2 is a lighter device and the camera quality is still A+ (slightly below the vivo x90 pro + though). The charging between the x fold and x fold 2 are still light years ahead of pixel fold's speed.

I think it boils down to a few critical things comparing the two. If you never had a rooted vivo x fold, then I would get the x fold 2. If you find a rooted device (boot loader unlockable), I would still consider the vivo x fold

If it's true you cannot remove vivo.pem anymore live with a phone without notifications or even ringtones for many apps. It's unusable without debloat like any origin OS vivo.

So I'm having this issue with Microsoft teams and what has worked for me is keeping the app pinned from my recents section. Dirty fix but it works so far and I don't notice it.


using the app Edgemask (which I've used for years also really helps, plus more customization options for notifications)

Also for some reason yes, you cannot delete using the adb command but you can put it to sleep and you have to use 1 after user in the command and not 0.not sure why, but it gives you an error if you try slot 0

My WhatsApp is always locked to the background so unfortunately that's not a fix either. I dont quite understand what's stopping it.

Thanks for your answer
I dont think ill need the periscope zoom
What is the extra you get from rooted x fold?!
How is the notifications push? Are they work ok?

I mean it’s rooted. Anything you can do rooted you can do here

But that being said notifications worked for me before root. Delete vivo.pem I think
